Hi Ms. Franklin, (---> It's always polite to address the person you are contacting.)
I'm having a bit of trouble with the directions for our current events assignment due next class. (---> This way I know what part of the assignment you are having trouble with. Many times there will be multiple things due each class.) Where should I post the link and response to the article that I found? (---> A specific question will allow me to give you a specific answer.) Thank you!
